It seems that the conflict between stardom and money is floating on the carpet of football fields now, especially in the Saudi League, which is witnessing a terrible development in attracting the best stars in the world. Will Mohamed Salah remain a star in Liverpool and break his records in the English Premier League, or will he go to Al-Ittihad Jeddah club to start a new history in the Saudi League? This is the talk of the world now, and the talk of Egypt about the professionalism of Mohamed Salah remains different from the talk of the world, as the question arises: Is Salah well aware that his name is associated with the name of Egypt? And that the raising of the flag of Egypt in the whole world through Salah and at Anfield in the English Premier League cannot be estimated or done with money?
In the same context, it has become necessary to emphasize that the presence of Mohamed Salah in Europe is for the sake of Egypt and is no longer for the sake of Salah only. He became a role model for young people around the world.
Also, in the same context, let me quickly mention the personality of Mohamed Salah, whom I knew well, and he is a player in the Arab Contractors Club, and I was responsible at that time as a member of the club’s board of directors and responsible for Salah’s professional file and negotiating with the Swiss club Basel with the wonderful group of the club’s board of directors headed by Engineer Ibrahim Mehleb, “Chairman of the Board The former minister.” In addition to being a technically outstanding player, he is characterized by high sportsmanship, respect for himself and others, and his great love for Egypt, which he is always proud of, which made him a role model for young people in the world of football.
In the end, “My words bring me to you, Salah, which are recorded in history through the media at the beginning of your professional career in the Swiss Basel, in which you affirmed that the interest of Egypt takes precedence over any other interest, and the interest of Egypt is in the presence of ambassadors like you in the whole world.”
